Our child and teen programs.

How can I get help for my child who is having serious behavior problems in school?

Your first step is to speak with a Sharp Mesa Vista intake specialist, by calling
858-836-8434, to discuss your child's symptoms and behaviors. After your child's behavioral issues are determined, our intake specialist will refer you to the appropriate
child or adolescent treatment program. If your child is abusing drugs or alcohol, we can also refer you to
Changes, a comprehensive treatment program to help adolescents and their families deal with the problems related to developing and maintaining a sober and drug-free lifestyle.

Our mental health treatment programs.

My loved one is bipolar but is refusing to get help. What can I do?
plus

We understand your concern and are here to help. Our
cognitive treatment program is designed to treat bipolar adults suffering from symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Our program offers a supportive therapeutic setting for patients experiencing significant disruption in daily living and takes a group-oriented, cognitive-behavioral approach to care. Our outpatient programs are voluntary, but one of our intake specialists will work with you and your loved one to assess the need for either outpatient or inpatient psychiatric care. To speak with an intake specialist, please call
858-836-8434.

My loved one has schizophrenia and is not taking the prescribed medication. Do you have any programs that can help?

Sharp Mesa Vista specializes in the treatment of schizophrenia and we offer both
inpatient and outpatient programs depending on the level of treatment needed. Each program starts with a complete psychiatric assessment, followed by prescribing appropriate medications and scheduling group psychotherapy. Our programs are designed to help our patients recover from their unique challenges so they can get back to living balanced, productive lives.

Our older adult programs.

I can no longer manage my elderly parent. Do you have any programs that deal with the special behavioral needs of the elderly?

Firstly, it's important to speak with your parent's primary care physician about the concerns you are struggling with. Once the level of behavioral issues has been determined, your parent's doctor can refer you to Sharp Mesa Vista's
Older Adult Treatment Program. Our specialized program offers a full range of senior behavioral health services from inpatient partial hospitalization to
intensive outpatient services. All services are provided under a psychiatrist's direction who works in collaboration with your parent's primary care physician.
